Ambati Rayudu takes a dig at Virat Kohli and RCB following KKR’s IPL victory: ‘Orange Cap doesn’t guarantee a title’

Kolkata Knight Riders Clinch IPL 2024 Title, Ambati Rayudu Takes a Dig at RCB

In a thrilling final match of the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL), Kolkata Knight Riders emerged victorious against Sunrisers Hyderabad, securing the coveted trophy with a dominant performance. The bowlers showcased their prowess by restricting SRH to a mere 113 runs, the lowest-ever score in an IPL final. Venkatesh Iyer’s explosive batting display, culminating in an unbeaten half-century, led KKR to chase down the target in just 10.3 overs at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Following the win, former Indian cricketer Ambati Rayudu took a subtle jab at Virat Kohli and Royal Challengers Bangalore. Rayudu emphasized the significance of collective effort in winning championships, suggesting that individual accolades like the Orange Cap, won by Kohli for scoring 741 runs in the season, do not guarantee overall success.

Rayudu commended KKR for their team effort, with multiple players contributing significantly to the team’s success. He highlighted the importance of prioritizing the team’s interests over individual achievements, hinting at RCB’s approach in the tournament.

This was not the first time Rayudu criticized RCB, as he previously expressed disappointment with the team’s management decisions after their exit from the IPL 2024. Rayudu’s comments have sparked discussions about the balance between individual brilliance and team cohesion in the context of winning championships in cricket.

As KKR celebrates their triumph, Rayudu’s remarks serve as a reminder of the essence of teamwork and selflessness in achieving collective goals in the competitive world of T20 cricket.
